Gendai Gallery is pleased to present a retrospective show of work by Shizuye Takashima, an important Japanese Canadian artist

This will be a unique chance to see important art work on loan from privately held collections as well as exceptional pieces from the collections of the Toronto Public Library's Osbourne Collection, the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, and the Burnaby Art Gallery.

Takashima was an internationally acclaimed artist, an admired professor at the Ontario College of Art and uniquely insightful writer. Her creative life spanned from 1959 right up to her passing in 2005. Gendai Gallery curators have been working diligently over the past two years researching Takashima, her work and life for this exhibition celebrating an extraordinary Nikkei artist. Eleven oil paintings, four drawings, six watercolours and one etching will be on show, each representing significant periods of her artistic journey.

Getting there: Directions by TTC: Take the #100 (Flemingdon) bus from either the Eglinton or Broadview subway station. Garamond Court is located off Wynford Drive.
